Add new topics 'modeling' and 'metadata'

[charlottejmc]

I will add the new topics 'modeling' and 'metadata' to our list of lesson topics.

This will also require a short description of what this topic refers to, with translations in French, Spanish and Portuguese, in this format:

- type: topic
  displayname:
    en: "modeling"
    es: "modelado"
    fr: "[...]"
    pt: "[...]"
  description:
    en: "Lessons which [...]"
    es: "Lecciones que [...]"
    fr: "[...]"
    pt: "[...]"

Olá @ericbrasiln, Bonjour @marie-flesch,

May I ask if you could check if the following descriptions of two new topics 'modeling' and 'metadata' make good sense in your context?

I am merging in PR #3440 (without closing this Issue) because we are preparing to publish one EN and one ES lesson which we'd like to label with the new topics. Jenn and Alex have confirmed that they are happy with the descriptions but we would be happy make an adjustment if you'd like to suggest a change.

We can also add these topics to past lessons, so please let us know if you can think of any past lessons which could usefully be labelled within these categories?

I also want to clarify that the new topic filter buttons will not display until there is at least one lesson within your journal labelled with that new topic.

Hi @anisa-hawes

The suggested translations in Portuguese are correct.

[marie-flesch]

Sorry, it took me a minute to get to that!

There is a typo in the description of "modeling" (analyser and not analiser)

fr: "Utiliser des techniques formelles, informatiques, ou basées sur des données pour simuler, analyser et prédire des systèmes complexes."

I would change the description of metadata a little bit so that the definition is more clear:

"Apprendre à créer, interpréter ou gérer des 'données qui décrivent des données'."

(and I don't think the single quotes are necessary, they look a little bit weird in French...)

Thank you @marie-flesch, I'm making those changes in branch Issue-3456 (PR 3457).
